Linda,
Security is always an issue. That is why it is so vital to never submit passwords, etc via email to any requests. Or to never give that information to anyone. It is also a good idea to change your passwords. Everyone changes their at different times. I change mine. And I do not use the same passwords for Auctions, Paypal or my remote access accounts. All are different.
Keep in mind there are two layers of security for the remote access.
First, you have to sign into your account at Log me in to even see the computers to which you have access.
Second, you must sign into each computer individually in order to access that computer.
always be sure you disconnect when leaving logmein and then logout of your account even though you are using your own computer. It is just a good habit to get into. Clean up your Internet temp, history and cookies on your computer at least once a week,
If you are on a wireless router, you can change the settings on the router to access numbers that make the connection more secure. And then you can change the numbers ever so often. Here at work I do have wireless although my network is hard wired. I only turn on the wireless router when I must. Otherwise it does not run.
I am sure some of the techy gurus have other suggestions for security as well.
